1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Expression of the alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) gene (agp) is activated by a key transcription factor, AGP/enhancer-binding protein (AGP/EBP, commonly called C/EBP beta), in the liver during the acute-phase response. In addition to this positive regulation, agp is negatively regulated by nucleolin (T. H. Yang et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 14:6068-6074, 1994). Other factors involve in positive regulation of the agp gene are poorly characterized. In a systematic search for factors that may interact with AGP/EBP, we have identified Nopp 140, a phosphoprotein of 140 kDa, by immunoaffinity chromatography. Nopp 140 not only functions as a transcriptional activator per se but also interacts with AGP/EBP to synergistically activate the agp gene in an AGP/EBP-binding motif-dependent manner. In addition to interacting with AGP/EBP, Nopp140 interacts specifically with TFIIB. Distinct regions of Nopp140 that interact with AGP/EBP and TFIIB have been characterized. The sequence of Nopp140 contains several stretches of serine- and acidic amino acid-rich sequences which are also found in ICP4 of herpes simplex virus type 1, a known transcription factor that interacts with TFIIB. The physical interaction between TFIIB and wild-type Nopp140 or several deletion mutants of Nopp140 correlates with the ability of Nopp140 to activate the agp gene synergistically with AGP/EBP. Thus, the molecular mechanism for agp gene activation may involve the interaction of AGP/EBP and TFIIB mediated by coactivator Nopp140.
